I tried prepping myself by watching the first "Top Gun". Wretched stuff.

I never saw it way back. The acting and charicaturizing of cartoon pilots as junior high punks made me puke. The sound track was pure kiddy music. It was a partial rip off of "Officer and a Gentleman", Richard Gere, made a few years prior, including Cruise showing up on a motorcycle. Can't get much more plagiaristic than that. And always the local girl to be won.
If anyone wants to see "Maverick", I recommend that they do not go back for a primer.
